I can't imagine why Strzok isn't locked up for the attempted overthrow of the US government.

One:Evidence.

Two: Evidence he had acted with a foreign power to violently overthrow the US Government.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not in anyway defending this jerk. He's an asshole who probably did break several laws but the "evident" on his emails would be laughed outta court in regard to a treason charge. Just as the "collusion charge" against Trump, even if true is not a crime

In the United States, there are both federal and state laws prohibiting treason.[1] It was defined in Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution.

Section 3 defines treason and its punishment.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.


The Congress shall have Power to declare the
Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason
shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except
during the Life of the Person attainted.


In Ex Parte Bollman, 8 U.S. 75 (1807), the Supreme Court ruled that "there must be an actual assembling of men, for the treasonable purpose, to constitute a levying of war.

Unless there is more yet to be uncovered, he has committed "political Opinion"

regarding number one. He participated in a conspiracy which was a coup d “tat. That is treason. It stared with hillary clinton went through the FBI to DOJ to the wh to get a FIUSA warrant. Then the conspiracy involved trying to remove a duty elected president with no evidence of high crime or misdemeanor.

His comment about stop trump and we will make sure are a pice in the conspiracy since ehe was involved in both investigations and failed to recuse.

Trump and Sessions failure to indict and imprisonthe conspirators is not evidence of no evidence. Just the contrary it indicate trump is failing on this exitential threat to our country.

Thanks for that. What’s going on isn’t “treason” by that definition. What crime is it when there’s a coup against the gov that doesn’t meet those conditions?

We have that in spades and they were all in positions of power. A massive conspiracy of high treason with no controlling legal authority in sight.

As a wise man said years ago, we need a COTS to hold nuremberg-style treason trials and mass hangings on the national mall

Conspiracy with others yet unnamed and identified who in cooperation and in a conspiracy planned to remove a duly elected President of the United States including parties foreign Governments and subvert the seating there of him.

Not withstanding any and all co-conspirators in such a criminal act are to be treated as enemy combatants, participating in attempted subversion and downfall of a duly elected government and by such actions are deemed to be such and subject to appropriate laws and penalties

Not true at all. They started a special counsel investigation on the sitting president and served no knock warrants on his lawyer with less evidence than their is on this fool.
